7-fold ties: the queen of ties

The primacy in luxury neckwear goes to 7-fold ties, also called all-silk folded ties.

They’re made out of a single piece of fabric, called carré or square, that is folded 7 times diagonally, from the sides towards the center (four folds on one side and three on the other).

Very popular in the 1920s and 1930s, 7-fold ties were originally coreless ties, that is with no inner lining: their only support element was silk itself. The search for perfection then led to the creation of a core for these ties: new techniques inserted a woolen clothing in order to give more texture to these items, while allowing them to remain a handmade product of great value.The creation of 7-fold ties is much more complex than standard ties; a larger amount of fabric is required.

Here at DM Ties we want to make sure that every item is unique. That’s why we choose the best Italian silks, wools and gauzes, to guarantee a perfect fit and wearability for our 7-fold ties.
